"If you’ve heard of one restaurant in Columbia, it’s probably Shakespeare’s. This pizza place is a second home to students, locals, tourists, and just about everyone else who enjoys carbs and cheese. Established in 1973 at the corner of 9th and Elm downtown, Shakes now has three locations across town. Build your own 8-, 12- or 16-inch pizza, and don’t leave without a souvenir plastic cup." - Chloe Konrad
